Labor and Employment Law Association

The Labor and Employment Law Association's (LELA) goal is to promote interest and involvement in legal and policy issues in the areas of labor and employment as well as to support Southwestern students in their academic and professional endeavors.

LELA hosts on-campus speakers and networking events for students interested in exploring various aspects of labor and employment law. Among our events are roundtable discussions with attorneys from diverse backgrounds, focused on topics that are most important to our members. LELA also offers interested students opportunities to attend educational and professional events.

LELA is equally dedicated to helping its membership achieve academic success and offers support through study aids, student mentoring, and a supportive environment of peers. In addition, information on externship and employment opportunities is available to members.
